Well, ONCE we're clear of this latest hurdle, maybe the Mickster and Coach will finally learn from their follies and put checks in place to avoid these decisions...

The injuries command some understanding (though when you've got outbreak, you fire the trainer and reset); but some of these FA contracts are indefensible...

PUT CHECKS IN PLACE.

Sean Payton needs someone to rein him in. Ireland is helping evaluate defensive talent better but we still trade picks like they were baseball playing cards.

I believe we need to reevaluate our long term plan for success. Someone from the outside looking in with a fresh perspective needs to take over. It may be time for Payton to give the reins to someone else while he focuses on fixing the offense.
